Tamil diaspora in Europe launches a fund-raising campaign
The Tamil diaspora in Europe has launched a fund-raising campaign to save a department teaching Tamil in the University of Cologne. The department is facing closure threat for want of funds. Started in 1963 by Klaus-Ludwig Janert, the department has 12 students at present and offers undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D programmes in Tamil.
According to the Tamil diaspora, the department is unique as it focuses on Tamil language unlike other European universities that focus on Hindi or Sanskrit. Two of its alumni are teaching the language in the University of Chicago and one is in Berlin University.
